Pug's Microbrewery

MICROBREWERY

Pug Ryan's Brewery was established in 1997. Our vision was to create a small craft brewery to compliment our steakhouse, and since its conception, the brewery has exceeded all our expectations. Dave Simmons, our head brewer, has focused on quality, brewing an assortment of beers to satisfy the most discriminating palate, including our wonderful Pallavicini pilsner to a creamy Scottish ale, (formerly known as Kiltlifter Scottish Ale) to a nice hoppy pale ale. Our beer is available to go in growlers, and the Pilsner and Morningwood Wheat are also sold in cans.  Also just released is the Oatmeal Vanilla Stout , made with a bit of Belgiam candy sugar and a tincture of honey, Jim Beam and hazelnut.

We pride ourselves on being one of the finest micro breweries in Colorado, and we look forward to continued growth.

Our microbrews can be found on tap at a number of local restaurants, at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area and Keystone Resort . Our cans are available in local Summit County liquor stores and select regional locations. As we look forward, we see a larger brewery with can distribution throughout Colorado. Join Pug's Posse to find out when our beer will be available in your home town.

WHY CANS?

We chose to can our beer instead of bottling our beer. Why, everyone always asks? Colorado is about enjoying the great outdoors! Therefore, we wanted a package that could accommodate all the backcountry enthusiasts, sailors, rafters, campers and hikers. Cans cannot break like glass, are easier to recycle, are lighter, crushable and are allowed almost everywhere. Cans do not let in light that spoils beer, and so our beer stays fresher longer. Our decision to can was easy cans go everywhere.

AWARD WINNING BREWS

 Pug Ryan's is proud of the many awards we have received at various beer competitions. To date, we have won more than 18 medals. Our accomplishments include silver medals for the Pallavicini Pilsner from the Great American Beer Fest and the North American Beer Awards in 2009. The Scottish Ale won a gold medal at the 2008 Colorado State Fair and a silver medal at the 2011 NABA, and our seasonal Helles Bock won a silver medal this summer at the Craft Brewers Fest and a Gold Medal at the 2010 Great American Beer Fest. Our award winning microbrews can compliment any dish on our menu  - with our selection of beers, we have a brew for everyone!
